Falling, Thanking and Giving--it's all Good.

Do you smell that?
Crisp clean air. Do you hear the rustle of leaves, see a blue in the sky that you forgot existed and haven't seen since your last box of 64 Crayola goodness?
It's Fall folks, my absolute most favourite time of the year.

In the summer, there's a moment in the day when the light is just right and I'll say, "Do you feel that? It feels like Autumn" and everyone thinks I'm nuts. But it's really here (close enough).

To celebrate the euphoria I'm feeling over welcoming back my old friend, Fall, I am having a give away.
Actually, it's not a giveaway per se, it's an I'm-going-to-reward-one-of-you-for-stretching-your- brain-cells...away giveaway.

Here's the rules:
There are people who come and go in our lives. Some are there for a long time, others just long enough to leave a permanent mark. I'd like to plaster the blog world with thank you letters. Thank you's to average everyday people who made a difference in your life at one time or another.
Please write a blog post in the form of a "Thank you" letter. To someone that has passed through your life. They can be living or not so much so. They could've touched your childhood, or maybe they just entered.

You can leave a comment (comments are my drug of choice), but your entry will be when you post one of these "letters" and link to that specific post in the Mr. Linky thing-a-ma-jiggy below.
A winner will be picked randomly by my not-so-technical-random generator (yeah, one of my kids will use his grubby little paw to pull your name out of a basket-- no cheating).

Hey, no pressure. I'm giving you until the last day of September.

You want to know what you're winning?

A goody box from England of course. It will absolutely have chocolate (I feel safe mailing it now that most of the heat has subsided-- who am I kidding, we never had heat), and other goodies (books, cds, silliness?) thrown in for fun. Now, go rake some leaves while you're thinking of people to thank.


Attention: Mr. linky seems to have slipped out for a potty break. Please leave your post info in the comments section until he returns. (And don't worry, the random generator will be drawing per name, not by number you enter by).
